Sheffield instructions
What we do for Sheffield solicitors
We are a UK-wide panel. For Sheffield instructions, location affects the practical arrangements, while the clinical issue determines the expert required.
Where a report requires the claimant to be examined, we match an expert who consults within reach of your client. The Charles Clifford Dental Hospital and the University of Sheffield’s School of Clinical Dentistry support specialist dental practice across South Yorkshire.
Where a records review answers the question, no examination is needed and location does not arise at all.
Geography in context
Where geography matters, and where it does not
Claimant examinations
When a physical examination is necessary, the location should be practical for the claimant and appropriate for the assessment required.
Attendance at a hearing
Attendance arrangements follow the court’s directions. Physical location can affect logistics, but it does not alter the expert’s overriding duty to the court.
Records-based opinion
Breach, causation and screening questions may be addressed from the available records where the scope permits. A nearby report is not inherently a better report.

Why solicitors instruct us
The clinical match comes before location
-
01
Sub-speciality before postcode
The nearest expert is not always the right expert. We identify the discipline required and then consider the practical location requirements.
-
02
Examination within reach
Where the claimant needs to be seen, the proposed examination location forms part of scoping the instruction.
-
03
A named case manager
One point of contact coordinates the proposed expert, CV, agreed scope and examination arrangements.
